Seite 26 - O may I pant for thee in each desire ! / And with strong faith foment the holy fire ! Stretch out my soul in hope, and grasp the prize. Which in eternity's deep bosom lies ! At the great day of recompense behold, Devoid of fear, the fatal book unfold ! Then wafled upward to the blissful seat, From age to age my grateful song repeat; My Light, my Life, my God, my Saviour see, And rival angels in the praise of thee !—YOUNG.
Seite 83 - I'm nearer death in this verse than the last : What then is to be done ? be wise with speed : A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Seite 107 - With legs toss'd high, on her sophee she sits, Vouchsafing audience to contending wits : Of each performance she's the final test ; One act read o'er, she prophesies the rest ; And then, pronouncing with decisive air, Fully convinces all the .Town — she's fair. Had lovely Daphne Hecatessa's face, How would her elegance of taste decrease ! Some ladies' judgment in their features lies, And all their genius sparkles from their eyes.

He proudly spreads them to the golden ray, Gives all his colours, and adorns the day ; With conscious state the spacious round displays, And slowly moves amid the waving blaze. Who taught the hawk to find, in seasons wise. Perpetual summer, and a change of skies ? When clouds deform the year, she mounts the wind, Shoots to the south, nor fears the storm behind ; The sun returning, she returns again, Lives in his beams, and leaves...
Seite 145 - One to destroy, is murder by the law ; And gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe ; To murder thousands, takes a specious name, War's glorious art, and gives immortal fame.
Seite 103 - As unresery'd, and beauteous, as the sun, ^> '•' Through every sign of vanity they run ; Assemblies, parks, coarse feasts in city-halls, Lectures, and trials, plays, committees, balls, Wells, bedlams, executions, Smithfield scenes, And fortune-tellers
Seite 18 - Csesar unnoted in your presence stands. How vast the concourse ! not in number more The waves that break on the resounding shore, The leaves that tremble in the shady grove, The lamps that gild the spangled vaults above : Those overwhelming armies, whose command Said to one empire, fall ; another, stand : Whose rear lay wrapt in night, while breaking dawn Rous'd the broad front, and call'd the battle on : Great Xerxes...
Seite 28 - Flung back in time an hour, a moment's space, To grasp with eagerness the means of grace, Contend for mercy with a pious rage, And in that moment to redeem an age ! Drive back the tide, suspend a storm in air, Arrest the Sun ; but still of this despair.
Seite 195 - How rich the Peacock ! £ what bright glories run From plume to plume, and vary in the sun ! He proudly spreads them, to the golden ray Gives all his colours, and adorns the day ; With conscious state the spacious round displays, And slowly moves amid the waving blaze.
Seite 119 - Tis greatly wise to know, before we're told, The melancholy news, that we grow old. Autumnal LYCE carries in her face Memento mori to each public place. O how your beating breast a mistress warms, Who looks through spectacles to see your charms ! While rival undertakers hover round, And with...
